Millennium Tension

Chapter 26: Evelyn Azazel

The first aristocratic family on Mars gave birth to an offspring named Evelyn Azazel, the only daughter of the pair Aaron Azazel and Karin Azazel.

Evelyn's father, Aaron Azazel met with Karin who was an ordinary person in the military when they were still starting their careers as beginners in the military. Karin at that time did not have a surname or anyone who could be called a family, she who lived alone did not give up the situation and fought in the military with the hope of a better future.

Over time, Aaron began to be fascinated by the dashing woman who was in the same team as him and began pursuing Karin properly to make her as his wife. A few years later, all the efforts that Aaron did finally bear sweet fruit, he managed to melt the heart of his ideal woman after they became [S Rating] General and married afterward.

Karin who did not have a surname was given the same surname as Aaron by the name Azazel and became a whole family after she gave birth to their first child, named Evelyn Azazel.

Evelyn grew with the high hopes of the people around her to continue the Azazel family one day. Not wanting to disappoint her father and mother who had become Generals, she built a level of maturity that was faster than her peers and trained hard for it.

At the age of sixteen, she met other descendants of the City Lord family from five other cities at the banquet party, she quickly became familiar with Eileen and Rachel who seemed to have responsibilities like herself. Even so, Eileen and Rachel who were one year younger than her were more relaxed than her who came from the military family.

Two years of good relations with them in the military made a more mature Evelyn became a big sister figure for Eileen and Rachel. Evelyn who mastered the wind element often became an arbitration between Eileen who mastered the lightning element and Rachel who mastered the fire element in their ridiculous competition.

Their relationship did not last long, the city defensive battle from the monster siege led by a [SSS Rating] monster that resembled a flying lizard destroyed everything. Evelyn's father at that time was already a [SS Rating] General and her mother still as a [S Rating] General fought to kill off monsters to protect Azazel City along with nine other [SS Rating] Generals and many more reinforcements from other cities.

Nine out of ten [SS Rating] Generals died in the battle, leaving Eileen's grandfather as the only [SS Rating] General who was still alive even though the injuries he suffered were very severe and left him disabled for life. Aaron and Karin who also died on the battlefield left a great responsibility for young Evelyn who was still nineteen years old and at that time she was not even a General.

The impact caused by the battle was very severe, especially in Azazel City, many Generals and soldiers who died from the reinforcements of various cities resulted in the weakening of military power from all parties.

One-eighth part of Azazel City had already been destroyed, the increasing number of poor people and the great responsibility of the Azazel family were all delegated to young Evelyn. As the only person with blood from the main family of Azazel, even though she does not yet have enough experience and strength, she still bears the responsibility.

Evelyn's difficulties were realized by Eileen and Rachel at the time, but they could not do much to help her and cause a break in their sister's relationship. Many people who tried to take the power of the main family of Azazel from the hands of Evelyn in various ways, because of that Evelyn became difficult to trust others and became extremely wary to anyone.

Even so, Eileen and Rachel still consider her as their big sister. One year passed, Evelyn had become a General at the age of twenty. Although Evelyn had not yet resolved all of Azazel City's problems, she was in the spotlight of many parties and many people tried to tie her up in a marriage relationship to target a big catch, including three successors from the Elyson family, the Zirion family, and the Lynn family.

It had been four years since the Azazel City tragedy and all the successors of the City Lord family had become [S Rating] Generals. The relationship between Evelyn, Eileen, and Rachel began to improve.

When Evelyn who was the head of the Azazel family received a critical message from Stanford City, she immediately left at full speed with most of her army to help because the monster who attacked Stanford City had the same level as the monster that led the attack on Azazel City.

But shortly after, Evelyn got a message again through the [Axtia Goddess] System that the target had been destroyed and Stanford City was safe. Hearing the message she breathed a sigh of relief, Evelyn thought reinforcements from other cities had arrived on time and were able to eradicate the [SSS Rating] monster.

That way, she immediately returned to Azazel City because she was brought most of her troops from Azazel City and there was at risk without protection. Little did she know that all the reinforcements from other cities had not even arrived at the time of the attack.

At nightfall she was contacted directly by Granpa Thomas, Eileen's grandfather, head of the Stanford family and [SS Rating] General who was still alive about the problems between the three successors of Elyson, Zirion and Lynn seemed to have offended someone with [SS Rating] strength to all City Lord family heads from all other cities.

Because of this, Granpa Thomas invited many high-ranking nobles who had influence in various cities to the party he was going to hold at Stanford City after receiving confirmation from related people for his presence. But the City Lord's family received additional information regarding this matter, besides he wanted to resolve this peacefully he seemed to have another goal.

Evelyn, who had high hopes for the [SS Rating] person, immediately flew to Stanford City in the morning and took part in the procession of the execution of Defendant Austin Mende and the mass burial of the victim who died in the battle of the city's defenses.

"Big Sister, we can finally gather together again!" Rachel exclaimed loudly after they returned from the mass funeral procession.

"Big Sis Evelyn, thank you for coming." Eileen joined in the conversation. The three of them were currently having lunch on the seventh floor of the 'Heavenly Pavilion'.

"It's nothing, we can gather together anytime... It's just that you rarely visit me in Azazel City... *sob*" Evelyn pretended to be sad in tears.

"Ah! No! How is that possible... We visited you three months ago." Rachel tried to console her, but what Evelyn was saying was true.

"*sob* My sister is so cruel to me, there I was so lonely at my own feet." Her little drama still continues.

"Forgive us Big Sis Evelyn." Eileen apologized, feeling a little guilty.

Seeing Eileen and Rachel looking guilty and starting to bow their heads, Evelyn immediately returned to her normal self and smiled. "Oh! There's no need to worry about that. I'm a strong woman."

Evelyn seemed to think of something for a moment and continued. "But still, those three fools actually kicked a very hard rock this time... They are more like living sculptures."

A few moments ago Evelyn and the City Lord families who had come to Stanford City had examined the circumstances of Alfred Elyson, Ryan Zirion, and Adam Lynn who seemed unable to move. They use all kinds of methods and end up in vain. This shameful information was withheld by everyone involved from all City Lord families.

Hearing Evelyn changed the topic, Rachel returned to lively again. "Hahaha! That's right. One gentle flick from the man and the three of them can't even fight back."

"?!? Just one flick of it can make three [S Rating] Generals can't move until now?" Evelyn seemed curious and asked for more detailed information.

"That's right, we were with them at that time. Because of Alfred's impudence, we got involved. Fortunately, the man did not investigate again before leaving just like that and regard their current situation as punishment." Eileen explained slowly.

"Do you know who this honorable person is? According to information from Granpa Thomas, he is Mr. Aizen, is there anything else?"

"Um... We don't know much either. But he was accompanied by two very beautiful women!"

After hearing Rachel's answer, Evelyn thought for a moment in her mind. 'Well, strong men naturally have wives. But I hope he will help my difficulties...'

Polygamy is not uncommon on Mars, although usually men only have one wife while some people have several wives and concubines.

Even though Granpa Thomas is the [SS Rating] General, he is already paralyzed and no longer has the same power and it is impossible for him to help Evelyn with her difficulties. The man who was rumored to have the power of [SS Rating] became a big hope for her. Little did she know, the two companions who accompanied Aizen at the time were not his wife but his daughter and his companion who might become his wife later. And they will also make it harder for Evelyn to approach Aizen at a later time.

"But I have a hunch, that guy also saved Stanford City from a space monster that attacked yesterday." Eileen revealed about her hunches that had not been told to anyone or even her grandfather. The information spread was only a mysterious black robot killing a space monster single-handedly.

"Is that so? Then I must confirm later." Evelyn smiled mysteriously.

-------------------------------------------

They were with the whole City Lord family from another city at the banquet party at the Stanford family mansion and seemed to be waiting for someone important. All the nobles present seemed confused and whispered because of the delay in the opening of the banquet even after twenty minutes had passed.

"Is he not coming?" Evelyn muttered softly while the other people from City Lord's families began to worry that efforts to build good relations with a man who has [SS Rating] power seem to fail.

Even Uncle Darius, who had met Aizen in person at this time was assigned to inspect the nobles who came, but he did not find Aizen entering through the main entrance. Unfortunately, some time ago the person who checked the nobles who were present was not Uncle Darius alone, he was assisted by several other officers. Aizen's group entered with Ronald's group and several other nobles who made Aizen's arrival unnoticed by them.

When Evelyn and some people from the other City Lord families looked disappointed and decided to start the banquet party because the nobles who had been present had waited long enough.

"Why hasn't the banquet party started yet? Who are we waiting for?"

A firm voice was heard and immediately made the central room where they gathered, which at first only sounded a soft whisper into silence instantly. All attention was immediately focused on the source of the voice that seemed presumptuous to speak loudly without waiting for the host to speak.

Aizen, Ana, and Axel are sitting leisurely on a set of chairs and tables in a corner, far from their attention.

'He's already here?!' Evelyn exclaimed loudly in her mind.
